    The bidet finally makes sense.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sator_Square I was thinking there was no email, but some kind of word play going on. It kinda looks like sudoku.

    That reminds me. I'm supposed to look like I'm working furiously in case the higher ups happen by.

    Is that Bismark in the middle. lols. By the way you should be careful, the emperor doesn't have a sense of humor and will happily fine or imprison you over a painting.

    I'll wait for 2D. Gives me headaches, and it's a gimmick you get tired of pretty fast.

    One struggles to understand what goes on inside their heads. Blanket statements about religion or culture aren't enough, that's the easy trap to fall into. The solution of a simpleton. Meanwhile I guess some dangerous pests just have to be eradicated as best possible. I mean it's not like dialogue is even feasible.

    Point being that it's kinda cheap, as opposed to the already awesome that is in the books. I like Bilbo. Don't like much anything else about the new movies so far.

    I really hate the new characters. Why the bioware elf redhead, the orc warlord was bad enough.

    So your chance of getting killed by a pitbul is less than 1 in 100.000000. Of the things to be scared of that would be pretty low on the list.

    Maybe it's a draw. The King can't move except into a checked position but it isn't checked itself. That's what I think patt is anyway.
  11. Gorgon
    Patt(sp?) is when you leave the opponents king no avenue to travel without moving into a checkmate outcome and the only piece you can move is your king. The others are boxed in or lost. It counts as a win. Stalemate doesn't obviously.

    Who even knows. I guess it's a success if they can create a media stir. That's all well and good if their foot soldiers come out of it more or less in one piece. If they were indented to be martyred then that's pretty sinister.

    They must be either very brave or very stupid, what with the recent history of activist getting prison sentences rather than the customary fines.

    They've made it mandatory here for doctors to recommend cheaper alternatives, provided they are effective, and not just write a prescription for the first thing that comes into their minds. When a patent expires the cost of drugs can plummet to as low as a few percent of the original price and there is quite often something already out there with a similar effect. This also keeps a lid on unsavory incentive schemes and back hand deals between pharmaceutical companies and doctors.

    Well do you think government would have any luck breaking up these cartels. How has that been going so far. Price fixing won't go away if the system is left alone.
  17. Gorgon
    Why have an insurer. That's a middle man, siphoning off profit that could have gone to healthcare. Let the government employ the doctors. We have learned quite a bit about how this can be done more efficiently during the last decade of economic downturn.

    You shouldn't use a french press. Unfiltered coffee contains soot (from bean roasting) which is carcinogenic. Regular filtered coffee has lots of heath benefits on the other hand. Unless you factor in not getting enough sleep from drinking too much of the stuff.

    I approve of duct tape, but not because it's on the list, and as Orogun suggested the manly thing is to be your own man. ei. not be concerned with lists and women's magazine quizzes et al.
  20. Gorgon
    I reject the concept in its entirety.
  21. Gorgon
    ?

    Or an accident of birth, brain chemistry. The inability to emphasize and possibly a question of philosophy. Do you believe that things like good and evil exist. That there is such a thing as free will, or that the outcome of your life is determined by chance and factors entirely beyond your control. If that is your stance then actions may not have consequences and there may be no reward for being a nice guy. Fundamental rather than optional considerations.

    So which is more desirable, the macro level approach to rehabilitation or the satisfaction of vengeance. The law needs to supply both or vigilantism would be the result. It does not, however, need to supply one at the cost of the other. When we are talking about the entirety of the justice system then these singular horror stories are statistically insignificant. As are individual high profile cases where one may feel that not enough punishment has been doled out, but they do contribute to a sense of deficit in the vengeance part of the equation which usually realizes itself in collective punishment.

    It is strangely arousing isn't it. Can't be helped. I like the fact that you needed to know how old they were so as not to feel like a pedo while getting your freak on.
  25. Gorgon
    So this didn't happen while out drinking ?. I've never been in any other kind of fight. Well not since I was 8.
